Hi all, just bought this. Engine is 1984 3hp B&S.
Have replaced pull cord but wont start - has compression - going into local mower shop for carb overhaul as I dont have the time to "mess".
Be very interested in what it is. No manufacturers stickers except for part of one on the centre of the handles which states type 5000-003.
It is complete less drive guard I have removed belt and clutch mechanism to allow the engine to be started easily - and the mechanism and cable to be freed off.
Oh the rear mounted wheels have three positions on "notches" with a bendable lever

OK guys over to you.

Thanks Ottarr

Me again, been doing some more digging - no pun intended!
Looks like it might be a Norlett - big family resemblance to a norlett 5000-006

Morning Ottarr, i can't help you with the make of the machine i'm afraid, but a warm welcome to the forum anyway.
Kind Regards, Old Herbaceous.
